Several months ago, Andi
asked me to take the role of lead developer on a refactoring of the
Zend Framework MVC components. I
agreed, though somewhat reluctantly; I already maintain
another MVC library, and wasn't
sure how well I could fill the shoes of people like my friends
Mike, who had done the initial
development on the controller classes, and
Paul, who provided Zend_View.
The experience has been incredibly rewarding, however, and I've had the
chance to pick the brains of and work with some top-notch developers in the
process. In the next week or so, we'll be releasing version 0.6.0 of the
framework, and it will include much of my work in the MVC components as part
of the core distribution. A big thanks to all those who have contributed
opinions, design help, code, tests, and documentation; another thank you
goes to Andi for trusting and supporting me in this endeavor.
So, what are the changes? Read on to find out...
